摘要

Measuring optical rotations in materials is a useful tool in many experimental studies. Research may be limited by the ability to measure small rotations due to weak interactions. We propose a novel scheme wherein we use a coupled waveguide and ring resonator to amplify the effects of optical rotation, potentially opening new avenues for investigation. Our proposed device can increase the resulting optical rotation by up to six orders of magnitude.
